every project i embark on with a client is equally unique and exciting. this particular project was a blast to work on. our client did not want to shy away from fun, bold colors which is always ideal for me! we set out to create an inviting and masculine ambiance, utilizing unique and vintage finds to add that extra layer of interest. another plus with this project was that this client wasn’t necessarily pinned down to one era or style of design, which allowed us the freedom to create a space that incorporated a mix of pieces, resulting in a uniquely fresh environment filled with pops of color.

hello again everyone! to continue our celebration of the 1 year anniversary of vintage remix, we have another favorite project to highlight:
this project was so much fun to work on! a combination of bohemian and feminine accents gave this hollywood hills home such unique character. i loved mixing patterns and colors from the wallpaper to the pillows, and a fresh palette of black and whites with pops of color let the lush outdoor garden spaces shine. the mix of unique elements and flea market treasures resulted in a charming hideaway nestled into the hollywood hills.
remember, you can enter now through the 30th of the month to be eligible to win a signed copy of my book, vintage remix! details here!

and now for the first round of our fave photos…this particular project is near and dear to my heart. we transformed this spanish colonial home for a good friend of mine using a mix of global glam pieces and some eclectic influences (with the addition of a few southern kitsch elements). the result was a warm and vibrant mix with pops of color such as kelly green on the walls. the house was transformed into a chic abode fit for this hip angeleno and it was such a pleasure to put it all together.

many of you have asked us about the beaded shower curtains seen in kishani’s vintage remix book (photos above). we thought it only fair that we spill a few diy secrets for our most valued followers! the truth is, this shower curtain is made up of a beaded room divider layered on top of a plain shower curtain! to help you recreate this look in your home please read the diy instructions below:
you will need:
1- beaded curtain, we recommend koyal wholesale’s version seen here.
1- plain white shower liner
here are the simple steps:
1. to start, line the holes of the divider up with the curtains’
2. put the rings though the beaded curtain and plain shower liner to hold both together
3. voilà! and you are done! now wasn’t that easy?

we love getting to share our recent projects with our followers! this particular remodel is near and dear to our hearts. we have grown to love the charming character we created in this los feliz home using warm and crisp paint colors and a mix of vintage inspired and industrial hardware and lighting. seems like the public agreed as the house was sold before it went on the market! scroll below for some of our favorite photos of the property and a list of sources to get this same look in your home!

we thought we’d share another great remodel we were privileged to take part in recently! currently on the market, this spanish style home has such charm and character. we really loved finding ways of incorporating the property’s original spanish accents while giving the home a more modern and contemporary feel. we think the result is quite fantastic! here again, we were not involved in the decorating, the house was staged, but were involved in every aspect of the construction process, from building, to designing all bathrooms and the kitchen, specifying all surfaces, finishes, hardware, lighting, ironwork and cabinetry.

we love seeing a project through from the very beginning to the very end! such is the case with villa nottingham. we were brought on to rehabilitate this gem of a home in los feliz last year alongside architect bobby rees. although we did not take part in the staging of the homes furnishings, we were responsible for conceptualizing the look and feel of the home by selecting all of the surface materials, from flooring to counter tops, designing cabinetry, choosing all fixtures, fittings, hardware and plumbing, specifying all finishes and paint colors, designing the iron work, and selecting the lighting. this lovely catch is currently on the market but won’t be for too much longer!
